Spring into Something New ...

The season of fresh beginnings is here. From the progression of early spring bulbs ushering in the season, to vibrant blooms of our beloved tulips, to the welcoming fragrance of our flowering trees beckoning you to explore more, spring is in the air—and all around you—in our Gardens this season.

Along with springtime warmth and splendor, new experiences and new moments of wonder are here— all as we continue preparing for our much-anticipated fall opening of Longwood Reimagined.

One moment you won’t want to miss is our redesigned Idea Garden, now open for you. With an expanded Ornamental Kitchen Garden, more pathways, and new display areas, we invite you to explore this freshly planted space as it continues to grow and evolve over the coming months—with dramatic views to our soon-to-come West Conservatory.

Spring has sprung.

Spring is an extremely popular time to visit our Gardens. So that we may provide an extraordinary experience for you, Members require timed reservations Wednesday–Monday (closed Tuesday) from open to close throughout Spring Blooms.

Timed Member reservations are still required during this morning hour for Members, but our Gardens will be available only to Members during that time. Reservations are limited, so please plan ahead.

Outdoor Fountains

Our outdoor fountains begin to come alive in the Spring. You may see water starting to flow in mid-April as we bring our fountains back online after their winter break. Our Open Air Theatre and Italian Water Garden fountains begin running in mid-April and turn off in mid-October. The Main Fountain Garden season officially begins on May 9 and runs through the fall.
